School of Dental Medicine

Dental Care

Dental care is provided by the ECU School of Dental Medicine, the newest addition to our health sciences division, at Ledyard E. Ross Hall on the Health Sciences Campus. Our staff includes dentists and oral health professionals who can treat the entire family. We provide check-ups, cleanings and treatments for cavities or dental emergencies. We also provide corrective treatments such as braces, and restorations such as crowns and bridges. Care at the School of Dental Medicine is provided by our dental students, residents and faculty members.

If you have complex medical needs, our hospital dentistry specialists may take care of your oral health concerns. Our hospital dentistry service allows us to treat patients who have had accidents or minor trauma that requires dental treatment.

When you are scheduled for a procedure such as heart surgery, we are available to treat any serious dental concerns before your operation. We will work closely with your doctor to monitor gum inflammation and other conditions tied with heart disease.
